What to do if AWS is down
- 1
Check the official status page for a component-level breakdown: health.aws.amazon.com/health/status
- 2
Rule out your own side — try a different network or device, and clear your DNS cache. If only you can't reach it, it's likely local.
- 3
If your own product depends on AWS, monitor that dependency directly so you're alerted before your users notice.
AWS outage FAQ
Is AWS down right now?
AWS outages are usually regional and service-specific (e.g. us-east-1 S3), not global. This page checks aws.amazon.com; the AWS Health Dashboard shows per-region, per-service status, which is what you actually need during an incident.
Why is aws.amazon.com up but my app is down?
The AWS marketing site and your workloads run on different systems. A single region or service (EC2, RDS, Lambda) can be degraded while aws.amazon.com stays up — check the Health Dashboard for the region you deploy to.
